For many, today is the day of infamy and until I met Sonia. Pearl Harbor is what always came to my mind first and after 1994, it’s always her birthday.
Sonia is the oldest and longest friend I made in Austin, independent of the person who brought me here. Currently, she’s in Houston visiting her family and seeing her oldest nephew get married. Somara and I are hoping to squeeze in a long weekend to go see all of them, namely the two kids. They’re not old enough to sit still in a car for the three-hour drive here. I guess they have more patience on the European trains and flights. Seriously. One can wander around the compartment, maybe even make a visit to the dining car with those cool European, high-speed trains. I’m not sure about airplanes. Being under five, Lucas and Julia probably sleep through the majority of the trip, lucky them.
If you know Sonia, drop by her site (I need to get permission to have a link from mine) and wish her a happy birthday.
